“Philharmonic rehearsal this afternoon. With us were two well contrasted beauties, Mrs. George Folsom & Miss Nelly Smythe—also George Carleton, the publisher, & May—whilom Lincoln’s private secretary. Directors met afterward. Tomorrow night’s extra concert does not promise to overburden the treasury with receipts.”
